Five Questions for Emily Werner

I'm going to be a junior at Skidmore College in the fall. I am an American studies major and an art history minor. I've worked at Burgess Cafe on campus since I was a freshman. It's a work-study program. I'm also interning at Caffe Lena for their Caffe Lena history project. I've been transcribing interviews with musicians who have played there. I went to Garden City High School on Long Island.

Where do you want to be in 20 years?

I want to work in a history museum or be doing some kind of preservation work. Hopefully, it will be somewhere on the East Coast.

When you go on vacation or relax where do you like to go?

Every year my family went to the Catskills on summer vacation and I also like going to Woodstock. On campus I like going to the gazebo by the pond and I like going to Saratoga Coffee Traders.

Who are your favorite musicians?

I like The Beatles a lot. I took professor Gordon Thompson's class on The Beatles and that was a really cool class. I also like Crosby, Stills and Nash. Classic rock is my favorite, but I also like Matt and Kim.

Why did you choose Skidmore College?

I liked the small campus and everyone here seemed to have their own distinct style. And the food was good.
